General Hux changes

Nothing new. Not the first time they released something with a mechanic that defeats their current sell-meta and nerfed it as a result.

characters that can "cheese" the latest and greatest are not that much fun if you own the latest and greatest. Not only that it makes you think twice before you spend to get the latest and greatest.

to be fair, how were they supposed to realize that a character that prevented tm gain would prevent tm gain?

The General Hux changes are like what the Darth Malak changes were, to nerf a free-to-play counter to a recent pay wall/pay-to-play character. Also, CG made it sound like it was closer to what they originally intended, but that's a lie.

Disagree, but because to me this is worse than Malak. Atleast Malak was a buff to the new "meta" character, where Hux is nerfing the all-around utility of a newly released marquee. Both kill a counter character, but only one hurts that character in other matches.

Inception.

I understand the anger towards CG but really, this isn't a nerf rather a correction. He is a FO leader, why would he help non FO teams. Granted, CG should have realized this before releasing him, but faction toons should really only help faction teams. Why would Hux help Sith Empire or Rebels? He has no business being on those teams. If he had a neutral tag, then maybe but he clearly has a FO tag and should only help as such. It would be like AA helping Thrawn and Co. get extra attacks or Traya boosting Ren. Stop looking for reasons to crucify CG, they give us enough on their own but this I Cannot agree with the anger. You all should have known this would be changed regardless if it was taking out the meta that Hux should not be helping no FO teams.

Ok, this makes sense.

With respect I'm not sure I fully agree here. Didn't they say he was designed to be similar to Thrawn and a plug-and-play/theory crafter? Thrawn's facture and TM swap works regardless of team setup. Additionally, from the Q&As they seem to want to diversify things?

I know right? The whole “we can’t test everything” excuse falls flat. So often when they nerf something it’s because they miss interactions that should literally be the first thing that anyone who plays the game would test.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA, let's take it easy with that logic there, buddy. That's dangerous stuff.
